God’s law brings eternal torment for sin,
Which ev’ry human has promptly incurred,
Is set at naught for those women and men
Who trust in Jesus, His creating Word*!
Once in God’s hand, no power in the world
Can any remove, nor condemnation
Re-threaten them ever to hell be hurled,
For the hand of God rules all creation!
In Christ is freedom and life forever;
Forgiveness of sin; love, joy, and sweet peace;
Come to Him while you breathe—after, never;
When earth-life ends, no chance Jesus to seize!
The people of earth in death’s darkness lay,
Till the light of Jesus pushed night away!
*John 1:1
Promise Made: Romans 8:1-2 (Paul writes)—
“Therefore, there is now [that is, after the first coming of Jesus] no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus [those saved by their belief in Jesus as Lord], because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death.” (NIV) [Brackets added]
“For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16)
“That if you confess with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord’, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” (Romans 10:9)
